Episode Synopsis

Our lives are full of changing circumstances, but what if your joy could remain steady — unfluctuating — regardless of the state of your present?  For example, have you ever felt like your influence was waning? Or perhaps you've experienced seasons of disappointment and doubt? Join us as we delve into the life example of John the Baptist, a man whose heart was fully anchored in God's plan, rejoicing not in personal gain but in seeing Jesus exalted. In this message, Pastor Filmore helps us uncover the power of humility and the gift of gratitude, discovering how a God-centered life leads to lasting joy – real joy. Learn how to cultivate thankfulness in difficult times, embrace a humble posture with a sober view of oneself, and prioritize God's glory above personal recognition. "If we have it, God gave it. If they have it, God gave it."  We're reminded that true joy isn't tied to success, influence, or circumstances — but to Jesus Christ, the true Treasure.      Scripture References:     •    John 3:22-30     •    Luke 2:10-11     •    2 Corinthians 4:7     •    Romans 12:3     •    Psalms 23:1     •    Mark 10:17     [Connect with Onechurch] www.onechurchnw.co | Instagram | Youtube | TikTok
